HOTEL MANDARIN LAKE COMO. WE HAD THE TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IN THE ORGANISATION LEAD BY BLUET LTD; SPECIALISED IN FLOATING POOL PROJECTS, IN COLLABORATION WITH NOVE CONSULTING LTD. THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN IS BY HERZOG DE MEURON. OUR ROLE WAS PREPARING THE STRUCTURAL SOLUTIONS AND WORK DRAWINGS BASED ON THE DESIGN CONCEPT. Ou role covered also THE ON-SITE AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT. The demanding task was to fit the minimalist, single material design concept into the old, moist, under ground boat hangar, built on top of the water. WE are lucky to know the specialists needed to carry off a project like this, in record short time. Crucial members of the ON-SITE team were THE CARPENTERS nigel keane and jarkko HAKANEN.
